BJP to shift party headquarters in Bengal to new place

The 98-year long journey of the state BJP headquarters in West Bengal in the rented accommodation at the congested and narrow Muralidhar Sen Lane in north Kolkata is about to end this new year.Instead, the state headquarters of the saffron camp will be shifted to a new modern office at Sector 5 in Salt Lake in the northern outskirts of Kolkata which is considered as the information technology hub of the state.A state committee member of the party said that with the expansion of the party network in the state, the current rented space is lacking the required area to accommodate the increasing number of daily visitors.”At the same time, with a number of our central leaders and important ministers scheduled to visit the state in the next two years – first because of panchayat polls in 2023 and the then because of the Lok Sabha polls in 2024, we need to have an office where the security arrangements can be made tighter. At the same time, we also need an office with the modern amenities and proper conference rooms,” the state committee member said.
